This is it folks, my last remaining coverage from this year's BlizzCon. May I present to you the show in picture form - with captions! Enjoy.
The opening madness & SWAG.
New and retuned leveling territories.
Upcoming changes to The Barrens.
Raid map, Uldum concept layout and art.
Extended universe cases for Blizzard's titles.
New racials and secondary profession's UI screen.
New Rated BG queuing system & UI screen.
Path of the Titan system and applicable changes to Glyph and talent trees.
More raid layouts and planning.
The first mocks up before they begin adding environmental art.
Scripting, placement, pathing & spell tools. Notice the Deep Breath possibility.
Icecrown Citadel layout!
Cataclysm raid layout, including The Firelands (Ragnaros) concept art.
I beat Blizzard to announcing the secret guest - the company was not happy about that. Apparently I type faster than whoever was manning the keyboard for them.
Statues (Queen of Blades ftw) and a lot of computers!
BlizzCon 2009's retro arcade. Rock n' Roll Racing!
Art, art and more art. Sheep is dedicated to Treznor.
So Long Anaheim!

Interesting shots there. I like the new leveling zone changes, I must've missed that on the stream. WPL at 40? That'll be weird.
And god I hope silithus isn't part of the major 55-60 plan. That area always sucked.
I bet Sili will have a good chunk to do with the new leveling. They did say that vanilla factions will play a big role in the x-pac. remember Silithus is loaded with two type of mobs that cataclysm is all about, elementals and twlight's hammer
This is going to be start from scratch for the add-on developers
These are some great pics. I hope i will be able to go next year. That is if the tickets wont sell out in 52 seconds(which will probably happen anyway). lol
Shala:
Yeah, I just hope there's other leveling options. I remember being there during the AQ stuff and I never want to be there again.
Maybe with the revamp, maybe it'll suck less. ;)
Where are all the videos, I know Juggy has been streaming; but where is everyone else?
Rock n' Roll Racing! I loved that game :-D
o god. i can't wait to be a Titan, so to speak! damn 10 extra glyphs. and the talents look kinda neat too. but i wish they had guild talent calculators or at least a full overview of the talents so we can decide which ones would be good for us
